Description

Dating from the 17th century, this three-bedroom terraced cottage in Flookburgh is offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. The ground floor has a sitting room with exposed ceiling beams, a study or inner hall, kitchen, separate dining room and rear porch. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom and a bathroom. The kitchen has fitted units, an electric double oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. Gas central heating is installed, with mains water, electricity and drainage. Outside, the property has off-road parking to the front, a workshop or store and a rear garden that includes a shared area with the neighbouring property and an enclosed private section. The listing notes a right of way and neighbouring access rights at the rear. It describes the cottage as requiring modernisation and personalisation; the rear porch also needs repair. The workshop could potentially be incorporated into the accommodation, subject to planning and other necessary checks. The property is freehold and is in the centre of Flookburgh, with village amenities nearby and rail services at Cark.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This 17th-century cottage has plenty of character to build on, especially the exposed beams in the sitting room, and its three reception rooms give it a flexible layout. The project looks light: refresh the dated finishes and worn carpets, clear and shape the overgrown garden, and attend to the tired rear porch. The kitchen appears intact, while the complete bathroom suite can remain in place if it suits your plans.

At £245,000, value against local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. That leaves this a weaker overall opportunity on the available numbers, despite the appealing period character, off-road parking and scope to personalise it.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and bring out the exposed ceiling beams and period character in the sitting room.
  • Refresh worn carpets and older finishes to personalise the flexible three-reception layout.
  • Clear the overgrown garden and improve the tired rear porch; the enclosed garden and lawned section offer a useful starting point.
